Even in the blog that I thought I had revived, but which once again just didn't stick.<br /><br />About a half hour ago the power went out. We're having a bit of windstorm today in eastern Massachusetts, and once again the whole neighborhood went dark. I sent a quick IM to my wife (Unrepentant Golfer), and left the Oasis to light up the living room with candles. Given that we have more candles than The Phantom's Opera House, I had the room in a warm glow without much difficulty. Then the freaking power came back on. Since Unrepentant Golfer isn't yet home from work and the iMac was once again humming, I snuffed out the lights and retreated to the Oasis, thinking, "This would be a good mini-post." But I just didn't feel the kinship with my latest, much-neglected blog.<br /><br />So here we are. In the process of starting this one, Blogger also prompted me to connect my blogger account with my Google+ account, so of course I did. Who could resist such a siren call of social media connectivity?<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-_lX1dMpRxPU/TxC_fIGjPVI/AAAAAAAAAEk/EfaiS0wdnh4/s1600/DSC00273.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-_lX1dMpRxPU/TxC_fIGjPVI/AAAAAAAAAEk/EfaiS0wdnh4/s320/DSC00273.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The candle cabinet.</div><br /><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2107346174222387912-1207757808071258499?l=impenitentgeek.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Beth Hendersonnoreply@blogger.com0
